help with built ls
UPDATE: everythng is fixed and getting back together again i had to de a complete rebuld on a new block, the old one broke a piston and the people who had the block befor me apparently rather than boring it to get rid of the scaring they just put a new piston in and called it a day. but all is well now about a grand later lol. thanks for all the input. thanks to innovative auto for getting me running again.
ok so here is the problem i swapped a ls motor into my 2000 integra with a built head, the head isnt the problem its the block. cylinders 1-3 had compression of 150 something, but 4 had 60 something, and when the motor was running i could pull off the number 4 plug wire and the motor idle would not change at all. when im driving it if i get on the gas to hard the whole thing just kinda bogs down. while it bogs down it kinda feels like a slip more than a bog because it comes in and out of the bog like it picks up a little then back down again. i bought a brand ring sets for all 4 cylinders but the guy never showed to help me put them in so i need someone to give me a hand with honing and replacing the rings, i would pay just need to know how much. and if this will even fix my problem im not sure. an help would be appreciaed thanks.

Re: help with built ls
you might wanna use a hondata ,chrome, or some type of chip ecu ls motor has no knock sensor so u might wanna start from there then check all of ur connections on the motor,and if it still does it proceed with the compression test...then pm me and let me know what happens.....

Re: help with built ls
how can i tell which ones they are will it say on them or do they all look distinctively deferent to the point i can tell them apart. and will the cams make it feel like it runs rough if they are too aggressive or something.
